Zach works at the local sports store. He is paid 3% commission for every snowboard that he sells. If he sells snowboards worth $3850 during the month, what will he earn in commission for the month?
0.03 * 3850 = $_________
To calculate Zach's earnings in commission for the month, we need to find 3% of the total sales of snowboards.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 3/100 = 0.03.
Next, multiply the decimal by the total sales amount: 0.03 * $3850 = $115.50.
Therefore, Zach will earn $115.50 in commission for the month.
